Call for Logo Designs 2023

The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is excited to announce a call for submissions to a Logo Design competition. We are looking for a creative and striking logo that reflects the values of our department, and showcases our commitment to advancing research, education and public engagement in the domain of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. 

EOAS is the largest and most diverse department of its kind in Canada, and is recognized as a global leader in Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. Over the past quarter century, we have worked to realize a vision of interdisciplinary collaboration, tackling complex Earth Sciences research questions. Moving forward, we will continue to implement this vision through high-impact research and teaching, and through public engagement and outreach. We aim to advance our scientific understanding of the Earth System and use this information to guide societal actions towards improved stewardship of Earth’s resources.

The winner of the competition will receive a $500 cash prize and have the opportunity to collaborate with UBC EOAS to refine the logo further.
